you hung on too long?
Have you been
willing to let go?
Are you ready to
surrender and give up?
Are you willing to
allow the end to come?
Some
stay too long.
Hanging on hurts and
builds resentment.
Clinging to what
was, limits what is to be.
Set yourself free to
see what really can be yours.
The flow of life and health and happiness changes
naturally.
When we long for
feelings that we had, we may feel mad.
Wishing for what was
may make us crazy and desperate.
Stay with what is
right now and see if it still fits for you.
Be
honest with yourself.
What is best for you
is best for others.
You cannot turn the
tide.
But you can take
precaution when the tide turns.
Be
awake and aware.

is true.

close your eyes,

positive action.

leave too soon.
Leaving early may
cause regret and sorrow.
All things change
form.
Nothing stays the
same.
Look
again at what you have committed to.
Some relationships
are forever.
Some are temporary .
Relationships help
us discern what we really want.
We
each deserve what is right and true for us.
When we have paid a
debt, we can move on.
When we have healed
our wounds, we cam let go.
When we have taught
and learned, we graduate.
Listen
within to see what is true.
Clean up after
yourself to the finish.
Leave no one hurting
or lost in your leaving.
Make honorable
closure in all relationships.
Life
calls us to be respectful and responsible in all things.
Loving us all to
allow the flow of trust and freedom in all things.

Honorable
Closure
How
do you complete a relationship, marriage, teaching-learning experience, job or
friendship?
How
do you know you are really complete?
People
may walk away without really finishing the healing work, because it is easier
emotionally.
People
don’t know how to come to a truly peaceful place, where “good-bye” is “God be
with You”.
When we are complete, we are at peace and in love.
We
have no regrets, no resentments, no unhappy memories.
Honorable closure acknowledges:
1) the learning and growth received,
2) challenges and difficulties experienced,
3) appreciation of gifts and blessings,
4) forgiveness and amends made.
**Acknowledge
within your self and with the other person all that you have learned and how
you have grown and benefited from the experience.
**Honor and express the challenges and difficulties that occurred and perhaps were endured
during the time together.
**Offer
your gratitude and appreciation to the other for the benefits you received.
**Share
your forgiveness and/or make amends for those places of unconscious or
conscious errors of omission or commission. Often neither party is aware
of what went unexpressed until the two have an opportunity to talk together.
This is very valuable when done with the conscious intention for a
peaceful conclusion.
**And
lastly, give your full appreciation and blessings to those whom you are
leaving.
Honorable closure includes a face to face or heart to heart connection so that all parties
have a full opportunity to express their piece of the whole. Incompletion is
never one sided. If one party loses and is in grief neither person is at peace.
If you cannot complete in person, write out your thoughts and
feeling respectfully and with gratitude.
I am
grateful I have learned…
I am
grateful I was challenged……
I am
grateful to have regrets which I can apologize for and learn from.
I am
grateful to see how much I have received and appreciate……..
Do your part when you part.
When
we complete a relationship, job, living situation with honor for all, we are
free to choose again without being haunted by the past or unconsciously
repeating the same patterns.
To move on, to create anew, to be fully inspired requires honorable
closure. Begin now!
Saying good-bye can be done with love, respect and profound gratitude and
inner peace. Do it Now!
